Default Baby tetra

hi folks, just had a message from my sister saying there are two tiny baby tetra fish in my tank, she noticed them this mornig but isnt sure how long they have been there.

Is there anything i need to do to try to keep these littleun's alive?

They are currently hiding under a plant and the adults are keeping guard.

Not sure if these are going to survive as i have 3 big ish (4inch) clown loaches in there, with 2 pearl gourami, a 6inch plec, 10 phantom tetra(black fins grey body, think they are phantom).

Any advice would be great, do they need special food? I currenlty dont have a second tank setup, and dont know if its worth it for 2 baby fish, could they not just go in a breader net.

I thought tetra laid eggs in sandy tanks?

Yup, tetras lay eggs.

I would net them and put them in a breeder.

Feed them on brine shrimp and baby flake.
